That is, if God has a future. If God is outside of time, then all times are present to God, and we don't have that little problem you mention. Even if God is inside of time, we can still say that he always had already decided what he was going to do, so it's still up to him what he does.

"Die Deutschen meinen, daß die Kraft sich in Härte und Grausamkeit offenbaren müsse, sie unterwerfen sich dann gerne und mit Bewunderung:[...]. Daß es Kraft giebt in der Milde und Stille, das glauben sie nicht leicht."
"The Germans believe that power must reveal itself in hardness and cruelty and then submit themselves gladly and with admiration[...]. They do not believe readily that there is power in meekness and calm."
